USC's Elite Athlete-Tackle Who Blazed to NFL Stardom
Austin Jackson, USC's 6-5, 310-lb tackle, dazzled in 2019 with All-Pac-12 first-team honors, Pac-12 Offensive Lineman of the Week after blocking a 43-yard FG vs. Stanford, and Phil Steele All-American honorable mention—starting all 13 games while earning USC’s Chris Carlisle Courage Award for grit. His rare 5.07-second 40-yard dash at the 2020 NFL Combine highlighted freakish athleticism (9/10 rating), quick feet, and pass-blocking prowess that propelled him to #18 overall draft pick by Miami Dolphins. A high school All-American from Phoenix with DE versatility, Jackson's intensity and run-game elevation make him a blue-chip protector—prime fit for teams craving explosive, durable O-line anchors.
